项目摘要

The purpose of this research is to learn the degree to which perceptions of symptoms, settings, and blood pressure estimates are associated with systolic blood pressure on a within-subject basis. Preliminary studies indicate that unique clusters of self-resported physical symptoms correlate highly with systolic blood pressure (SBP) on a case-by-case basis. The proposed research seeks to understand and extend these findings in order to learn: a) are symptom-SBP, and estimated-actual SBP relationships that are empirically derived in the laboratory reliable over time and across setting; b) are these relationships found with both normotensives and nonmedicated borderline hypertensives; c) does knowledge of the symptoms and/or settings that are related to SBP aid in the person's ability to estimate accurately SBP levels in the natural environment; d) to what degree are estimates of SBP influenced by situational versus perceived physiological cues. By answering these questions, we can evaluate the utility of applying these findigs to hypertensive populations so that these individuals can learn to monitor and regulate their bodies based on internal sensory cues and/or external situational cues. In the first two studies, normotensives and borderline hypertensive will in a laboratory and naturalistic study wherein SBP and self-report measures are collected 40-75 times on each occasion. In Experiment 1, the reliability of self-report - SBP relationships will be assessed. In Experiment 2, subjects either will or will not receive symptom and/or setting feedback that is empirically related to their own SBP levels. In the study, we will evaluate the degree to which feedback can aid in the person's estimating SBP level in the field. Additional studies will be conducted to understand the nature, reliability, and rigidity of beliefs concerning SBP levels. These studies will also assess the degree to which situational cues, physiological information, and general beliefs can affect estimates of SBP both in the lab and field.

这项研究的目的是了解对哪种看法症状，设置和血压估计与收缩压基于受试者。初步研究表明独特的自我分泌的身体症状群相关高度与收缩压（SBP）逐案基础。这拟议的研究试图理解和扩展这些发现，以便学习：a）是症状-SBP，并且估计的与估计的SBP关系是随着时间的流逝和整个实验室可靠的经验得出环境; b）这些与正常敏化剂和非药物临界高血压； c）了解症状和/或与SBP援助有关的人的设置估计自然环境中精确的SBP水平； d）什么学位是由情境与感知影响的SBP的估计值生理提示。通过回答这些问题，我们可以评估将这些发现物应用于高血压种群的效用个人可以学会根据内部感觉提示和/或外部情境提示。在前两项研究中，正常敏化和边缘性高血压将在 SBP和自我报告措施的实验室和自然主义研究每次收集40-75次。在实验1中自我报告的可靠性 - 将评估SBP关系。在实验2，受试者将或不会接受症状和/或设置与他们自己的SBP级别相关的反馈。在这项研究，我们将评估反馈可以有助于的程度人在该领域的估计SBP水平。将进行其他研究以了解性质，可靠性，和关于SBP水平的信念的刚性。这些研究也将评估情境线索，生理信息和一般信念可以影响实验室和现场中SBP的估计。
